Back in February, Gov. Murphy told a crowd at a local college that he was thinking about allowing an illegal immigrant he knew stay in his home above his garage.
He then cockily dared the law to come and try to get her!
Here’s the full clip of that:

Now, Gov. Murphy is finding himself on the wrong side of the law.
We don’t know whether or not he actually carried through with his plot to harbor an illegal alien at his home, but it appears that Alina Habba plans to find out.
The New York Times has more:
Mr. Murphy said in February that he was prepared to house a woman whose immigration status was unclear at his family’s home in Middletown. F.B.I. agents have since sought to interview at least four witnesses in connection with the comments, two of the people said, with one adding that the governor had been subpoenaed but not questioned.
Ms. Habba, the interim U.S. attorney in New Jersey, is a former personal lawyer for President Trump. She previously announced that she was directing prosecutors in her office to investigate the governor and New Jersey’s attorney general, Matthew J. Platkin, in connection with the state’s immigration policies.
ADVERTISEMENTTwo of the people with knowledge of the investigation involving Mr. Murphy’s comments indicated that it was separate from any Justice Department inquiry related to New Jersey’s so-called sanctuary policy, which has been upheld by a federal appeals court. There has been no public sign of that inquiry moving forward.
Mr. Murphy is one of at least four Democratic officials to become entangled in investigations pursued by Ms. Habba since she was named to the position in late March.
